About Dr Angie Wilcock
I am a Senior Lecturer and Programme Lead for BSc (Hons) Criminology. My passion for academia and sharing knowledge with others began in 2009 when I studied for my PhD, graduating in 2015. Within my teaching I embed my professional, research, and academic knowledge and experience to provide students with the skills required to thrive in a criminal justice setting.
My professional background has been in front-line service provision, working with the most vulnerable people in society. This includes working with statutory and third-sector organisations in social housing, homeless projects, community offender management, and within His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS).
I am passionate about the inequalities experienced by women and marginalised groups. This underpins my research interests:
- Violence against women
- Domestic violence
- Gender and inequalities within the criminal justice system
- Offender management
- Emotionality in research and practice
- Feminist research methodologies.
